Raybon Kan is in... The Discomfort Zone

Raybon Kan has come a long way since the early days of lukewarm audiences and tepid reviews before he became one of New Zealand's most recognisable and successful comedians.

You've seen him on telly, you've heard him on radio, you've read his national newspaper columns, and you may have even seen his recent feature film Diagnosis Death. Now Raybon returns to the stage with his new comedy show The Discomfort Zone.

Raybon will ask the hard questions and do all your thinking for you on the issues that haunt, dog, face and threaten your peace of mind.

You may not like the answers. But Raybon's duty as an artist is to enter the Discomfort Zone and risk being the only one saying the emperor is naked.

Is beauty truth? Is truth beauty? Do beauty queens tell the truth? Is a picture worth 1000 words? What if you want it framed? Now that everyone worldwide agrees on religion, climate, and sex, Raybon tiptoes fearlessly into humanity's one teensy area of mild disagreement. Raybon says all the things you think: live, on stage, and completely without name suppression.

No stranger to the screen and the stage, Raybon was named New Zealand's best comedian by North and South Magazine and has performed around the world including the Melbourne Comedy Festival, Montreal Comedy Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe.

"He performs a great set with natural flair and confidence." 3 Weeks, Edinburgh 2009.

"An hour of amiable, confident stand-up" Chortle, UK 2009.
